Discover Cuba's Explosion of Color



José Rodríguez Fuster is a Cuban artist specializing in ceramics, painting, drawing, engraving, and graphic design. 
As a part of his work, he has spent many, many hours decorating his home as well as over 80 others, in the town of Jaimanitas, which is in the outskirts of Havana.  When you arrive, you find the area full of color.  Imaginative murals, and sculptures adorned in colorful ceramics are everywhere.  I have attached a small sample of the works in the attached slide show.
I recommend spending some time in this neighbourhood when you visit Havana.  I think you will be impressed by the environment created.  Fuster's art is a cherished part of Cuban culture, and this creation is a must see when visiting Havana.
